RE:RE:What I do not understand about this thread >>> Could be a sign that you haven't been around long enough or just haven't been paying attention. In case you didn't notice, in addition to the in/out day and swing traders who probably don't give a damn about many of the "facts", there are plenty of super longs around who have been here from 2015/2016.
They have lived through the reality of all of the uncertainties and much more political instability than most people can stomach including the monkey business with Kabila and the shaky presidential election, ebola outbreaks, warring factions, international "action"/intervention as well as more recently COVID-19. All the discussions and back and forths on jurisdictional and political risk took place a long time ago and most long term investors are fully aware of what they've gotten in to
What kept them committed? Best in class tier-1 projects, the world's best/smartest (perhaps funniest as well) mining promoter (our 1st ace in the hole), the invisible hand of the Chinese (2nd ace in the hole) who are guiding everything from behind, unbeknownst to those not in the know (i.e. the general public and casual investor). That's a pretty new concept to some and especially those that don't understand the way the Chinese gov't works and thinks and how they have invested billions (if not trillions) in Africa and their soft power initiative that is firing on all cylinders right now.
so to the general public, yes this investment is fraught with country and political risk.....they've been saying the same for years. Many never believed that K+K would be built, let alone on and ahead of schedule. the reality is that while the sideline Sallys are waiting for the sky to fall, K+K is going to be spitting out gobs of cash in a few short days/weeks. The subsequent phases ramp up is going to be something else and don't be surprised to see mining grades and mine extensions well beyond what was in any of the PFS, PEA, FS, DFSs.
Finally, my own prediction is that the 100% IVN owned WF region is going to be even bigger and richer than K+K. RF is just giving us a taste of what's there to whet our appetite and then he's going to blow us away with the size and grades of the monster hiding in the WF region.

Maybe you think it should get a premioum for the DRC... I don't know what investors here think... Is it a 25% discount a 10% prmium... simple question.. Take a stand.

When I read this one (and there are no shartage of posts) I learn very little about people views on the specifics. Often it is just broad generalities about how great a stock this is. That is why I call it "IVAN-CULT."
I am just trying to get a better understanding of what the investors think relative to what the company puts out, but mostly, with a few exceptions, it seems the investors do not think.
What the heck is wrong with thinking about certain relative values of your company.... totally baffled by your attitudes.
